[Verse 1]
Cm
On the stormy shores of Azeroth,
G
A# silhouette did stand.
G#
A# brave and stalwart sailor
D# G
Who gave a helpin' hand.
Cm
Without fail, on every whim,
G
Which we did demand,
G#
He simply smiled and waved his hand,
A#
And sent us 'cross the land.
[Chorus]
D# A#
Farewell to thee, Placeholder,
Cm G
Your ship has sailed to sea.
G# D#
We'll tip our hats and pray one day
A#
To be as great as thee.
D# A# Cm G
Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside
G# D# A# D#
As we sit ashore on Menethil, waitin' for a ride.
[Verse 2]
Cm
Time did pass, until, one day,
G
That silhouette did fade.
G#
Where once we found Placeholder
D# G
Only scattered winds remained.
Cm
The stormy sea went silent
G
On that dark and dreary day.
G#
But come along, my friends,
A#
Let's raise a glass up for his name!
[Chorus]
D# A#
Farewell to thee, Placeholder,
Cm G
Your ship has sailed to sea.
G# D#
We'll tip our hats and pray one day
A#
To be as great as thee.
D# A# Cm G
Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside
G# D# A# D#
As we sit ashore on Menethil, waitin' for a ride.

[Verse 3]
Cm
So when you find yourself lamenting
G
On that lonely pier,
G#
Watching as the ships come in,
D# G
And dryin' off your tears,
Cm
Believe in what he stood for,
G
And I know that he’ll survive.
G#
Inside our hearts dear Placeholder
A#
Will always be alive!
[Chorus]
D# A#
Farewell to thee, Placeholder,
Cm G
Your ship has sailed to sea.
G# D#
We'll tip our hats and pray one day
A#
To be as great as thee.
D# A# Cm G
Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside
G# D# A# D#
As we sit ashore on Menethil, waitin' for a ride.
